Some Notes:

The eight recordings that make up "Bay Side Story" are excerpts from improvised sound collages that were created by Disism in the early 1990's. Sounds generated by instruments and non-instruments were routed through various mixers into a four-track cassette tape deck to produce these "live" studio recordings. This collection is roughly based on the theme: "San Francisco Bay Area."

"Bay Side Story" is Volume Seven of the Disism "reDIScovery" series of audio recordings. Disism was founded in 1985 by Charles Rice Goff III and Killr "Mark" Kaswan. There was no such term as "Disism" in 1985, when Goff and Kaswan made it up to represent their brand of non-genre music. Between 1986 and 1993, Disism released nine cassette albums to the public. The next public Disism release was a CDR, recorded and produced in 2002. In 2012, Disism met in Kansas City, Kansas, to record several on-site improvisations, producing three CDRs from their rejuvenated efforts. Over the many years that Disism has been in existence, some recordings of live performances and brief out takes from improvised recordings have been made public in various forms as well.

The Disism "reDIScovery" series was born in 2012, after Goff unearthed several cassette tapes of Disism in-studio improvisations and collages that had been recorded between 1988 and 1995. While a few brief portions of these tapes had been incorporated into Disism's official cassette releases, most of this recorded material had simply remained unheard and forgotten since its creation. Goff is responsible for editing these recordings into their current forms and for making them available to the public. Specifically in regards to this collection, a shorter version of the piece entitled: "Walk Into The Sunset" was originally released by EE Tapes of Belgium on the cassette album: "Remnants From Magic Carpets" in 1998.

Taped Rugs Productions is offering "Bay Side Story" to the public online, on CDR, and on cassette.
